“Maybe the right wing would learn that yes, making sure a city is maintained well costs money.”

I think this brand of right wingers – the ‘Chicago School’, the “Straussians” – want power at any cost, even at the cost of democracy itself – and especially the liberal democratic foem – towards their global empire project. You don’t need public infrastructure if your wealth comes from imperial conquest.

he’s right about bike lanes though, i havent seen one physically stop a car.

we need dedicated bike lanes seperated by a boulevard curb that would wreck an SUV’s transmission badly if it mounted it at any speed. then we’d have moderate safety for cyclists. to accept less is to accept continued deaths of cyclists.
